FUTILE TEARS
I set and weep. I set and cry. Worried sick as time creeps by. I try to hide my shaking hands from those who just don’t understand.
They watch with morbid curiosity never seeing the real me. I do not want their spoken words. What they have said I have not heard.
My mind escapes. It travels on to a warm place where I belong. I close my eyes as tears still fall going to where I can hear eagles calls.
I search about for signs of home. Feeling bereft, so all alone. When I had left things had been bad. Being away now drives me mad.
My ears search out the awesome sounds of life and love found all around. But time ticks by with slow sure steps, My life paused yet securely kept.
A sob hits me so hard that I gasp. Eyes opening I have to laugh. I’m still at work. I live on earth. It’s JUST online. It should not hurt.
I draw a breath, look at the clock. It still ticks on. It has not stopped. Yet in My mind their face I see. The ones I love, My family.
I wipe my face and try to smile. I’ll soon be home in a short while. Let drama come, I do implore. It’s simply part of the world I adore.
My tears won’t stop the pain I feel. My love for them is very real. It’s not role-play. It is my life. A harsh cruel world so full of strife.
My tear stained cheeks remain a sign. I love that world for it is mine. And soon I’ll open up the door and step back in the world that I live for.
